A couple more 5 minute spheres with a fineliner

the sphere on the right feels so lively, it could be an animation frame

Here's my level 1 (I'll do level 2 later) I didn't realize we had a reference image until just now lol I'm not sure if I made the light family too light or idk but there's something wrong. Anyway feedback is highly appreciated as always!

Try making the half tones darker, maybe that’ll help 🤔
Aubrey Hannah
I can't see much wrong personally. Maybe you just need a smoother transition between the lights and darks?
hobodios
I've got a question, when he darkens the outline of the sphere (11:53) is that a stylistic choice or is there something I'm missing? Thanks
hobodios
*The two last images are the big thumbnails* I had a HARD time making good looking shapes I feel like this is one of my weaknesses .-. I don't hate them though but I do wish they were better.
Aubrey Hannah
Learning how to make good shapes is definitely a daunting challenge. I've had some trouble with that myself. Some of yours look really good though, and you did a great job with clearly separating your values for maximum contrast.
hobodios
ok now that is the most awkward intro..
hobodios
perfect I no longer need gimp that was so frustrating now I can just use the website TYSM

I felt like a kid again doing this assignment so thanks for that! This is by far the hardest assignment so far but the pain was worth it, whenever I check my images with photoshop they are a little off and it bothers me but I think I'm just being too hard on myself. Any feedback is highly appreciated

Excellent Job Hobodios!

my brain exploded when you revealed they were the same value

I really tried my best to take a good picture I couldn't decide which one was better so I'm putting 2 (if somebody has tips for taking good pictures I would LOVE to hear them) Anyway I did all of the squares with a 6b it was REALLY hard to control the pressure sensitivity but fun nonetheless I still have a lot to improve so I'm gonna be doing this for a while before moving on!
Martha Muniz
Beautiful consistency with your shading! I do think it started quite lighter to the point where the dark values got compressed at the end (which, given it was done entirely in 6B means your value control is amazing!). I think if you used your current #5 (or #4 in the second photo, whichever you deem most accurate to real life) as your 2nd lightest value instead, it would allow for a more even gradation between steps. Hope this helps :)

Hey, I've struggled with taking good pictures myself. It might help to stand up your sketchbook or control light sources so that you don't cast a shadow on the paper.
